Plant aficionados often choose orchids because of their extraordinary elegance and beauty. But it might be difficult to give orchids the ideal ratio of nutrients. Commercial orchid fertilizers are widely accessible, but they may grow costly and include chemicals that may not be compatible with environmentally friendly gardening techniques. Using rice as fertilizer is a sustainable and alternate method of feeding your orchids.
